How to Reset the Oil Change Light on a Honda Odyssey
by Tara Kimball
Your Honda Odyssey is equipped with an in-dash warning system. Part of that system alerts you when your engine oil has reached the end of its usable life. If you take your car to a service center for an oil change, they will typically reset the oil change indicator for you. If you change your oil at home, you can reset the oil change light yourself to ensure that your alert system is accurate and functioning properly.

Insert the key into the ignition and turn it to the “ON” position. Push the “Select/Reset” button until you access the oil life indicator.

Immediately press the “Select/Reset” button again and the oil indicator will reset to 100. Release the button and remove the ignition key.
